The online Forward Living Focusing: Developing the Basic Skills Course, is the second module in this BFA Focusing Skills Certificate Program.

This module will be followed by the other 3 and lead to the certification:https://www.focusing.org.uk/bfa-certificate-focusing-skills.

In the foundation module, we were introduced to that something inside, the place where we find meaning and we delved into focusing, learning the basic steps that form the shape of a regular focusing session. When we completed the module we had the necessary knowledge to meet a focusing partner and do an effective and meaningful focusing exchange.

In this exciting second module, we are going to go through the various stages, expanding and deepening the knowledge and skills we have acquired so far.

This Course consists of 6 online classes, that will take place on following Sundays at 6 PM (CET):

Meeting 1) Focusing at the edge - 11 March
Meeting 2) Absolute Listening - 18 March
Meeting 3) Centering - 25 March
Meeting 4) Emotions in Focusing - 8 April
Meeting 5) Loosening Identifications - 15 April
Meeting 6) The Magic Pause - 22 April

Each class will last 2 hours, beginning at 6 PM.
Classes will be held online via ZOOM.
